White House: We’re Not Waitin’ for No Silly Congress
by KEITH KOFFLER on JANUARY 14, 2014

You thought the rewriting of Obamacare from the Oval Office was bad? The passage of the Dream Act by vote of the president’s advisors? The unapproved war in Libya? Folks, we’re just getting started.

From an email sent out by Obama consigliere Dan Pfeiffer.

President Obama has a resolution for 2014: that this will be a year of action. … He will be looking for areas of bipartisan cooperation, but he won’t be waiting on Congress to act. Instead, the President will use his executive authority, both his pen and his phone, to work with anyone to get things done — whether they be leaders in business, education, Congress, states, or local communities … [W]hen the President travels to North Carolina this Wednesday, he’ll announce a new public-private effort to boost advanced manufacturing that attracts the kind of well-paying jobs that sustain a growing middle class. … f you’re in, then let President Obama know you’re standing behind him.”

Bolding is mine.

The message includes this website address www.whitehouse.gov/year-of-action, where you can add yourself to the White House email list, which will be used, no doubt like the campaign email list, to gin up “grassroots” support for Obama. Even uses the campaign solicitation, Are you in?

I have a problem with using the White House website as a rank advocacy tool. I get that it’s going to be employed to make the president look like a wonderful person. But it’s still The People’s House, and this is The People’s Website. Funded by The People. I think they’re overdoing it. But what’s new?

When you’re going to be legislating from the Oval Office for the next three years, improper use of a website must hardly seem an issue.

Good....The Republicans have stalled so many things from essential laws, budgets, judges, etc....all for political gain and then have the nerve to complain that nothing is getting done.

Things have to change and I'm glad Obama is going to bypass these motherfuckers.  Lets get back to work making this country great

I presume if it was a repub president w a lib congress doing the same thing you would feel the same way? 

[rachaelsnav]

We should all feel the same way.  We have a system of checks and balances for a reason.  Anyone who puts political parties (not part of the Constitution by the way) in front of right and wrong and maintaining our way of life needs to leave this country immediately and make room for someone who appreciates freedom.

Yeah, forget about that whole separation of powers thing in the Constitution.

Biggest gimmick ever . Just impeach him

Of course he would.

Bush couldn't take a breath without having the libtards up his rear end, yet they look the other way when that clown threatens to violate the constitution.

"Where republicans refuse to cooperate on things that I know are best for the american people, I will continue to look for ways to do it administratively and work around Congress"
-barack Obama

Regardless of partisanship these are the words of a tyrant...the very definition of the Nanny-state ideology. I know what's good for you, and regardless of congress, checks and balances, or the peoples' own will- i will dictate it to you and you will obey.

This asshole  and all his enablers need to not only be removed but locked up or at the very least tarred and feathered and exiled from the US.
